Our First Peaches!!!

It's time to take a little break from politics and step back and celebrate life. Today we had a great event take place. We had the privilege of picking our very first peaches from the peach tree we planted two years ago. Our tree, which the girls affectionately named Cherridy, produced 3 peaches this year. Our girls love to see things grow and have learned to enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables. They keep on saying things like, "daddy, I sure wish we had a farm." In the next couple of years we would like to make that wish come true. Then we'll plant a whole little orchard beside our big garden!

Oh how heavenly - your own home grown peaches. I cannot grow my own because I live in an apartment and with the cost of fruit these days I am blessed if I can afford bananas sometimes if they are not over a $1 a pound. I am glad you are so blessed and enjoy! Your wee ones are beautiful!

the deer feasted on the peaches on the tree at our cabin...oh boo...there is also an apricot tree i didn't get to prune last year and this fall i'm going to prune it back and next year we'll FINALLY have apricots - we've only had up to five in the past - HAVE YOU SEEN THE PRICE OF APRICOTS???
